Net inflows highlights

During June, global ETFs gathered net inflows of $258.79 billion, reflecting continued strong investor demand across major asset classes and investment strategies.

Equity ETFs led inflows, attracting $123.13 billion during the month, bringing year-to-date net inflows to $542.01 billion, significantly higher than the $388.44 billion gathered over the same period in 2025. Investor appetite for equity exposure remained robust despite ongoing market uncertainty.

Fixed income ETFs recorded net inflows of $54.26 billion in June, lifting year-to-date net inflows to $272.67 billion, well above the $180.71 billion attracted by the end of June 2025. The strong inflows highlight continued demand for bond exposures as investors seek income and diversification.

Commodity ETFs experienced net outflows of $9.91 billion during June, although the segment still posted year-to-date net inflows of $11.53 billion. However, this was significantly below the $41.85 billion gathered during the first half of 2025, indicating weaker investor demand for commodity exposures this year.

Active ETFs continued their rapid growth trajectory, gathering $89.13 billion in net inflows during June and bringing year-to-date net inflows to $500.88 billion. This compares with $266.48 billion gathered during the same period in 2025, underscoring the increasing adoption of active ETFs by investors globally.

Substantial inflows can be attributed to the top 20 ETF’s by net new assets, which collectively gathered $124.70 Bn in June, the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV US) gathered $43.79 Bn alone.
